This really happened. Your not going to believe it!

I agree totally Rich. It's all the same thing.

I would ask Steve since the throw is bad, how is the runner supposed to reach first base (he has that right) without contacting the glove etc.,

BR is allowed to run within the running lane but to reach first base he MUST veer inside to reach the bag since the running lane is outside the bag.

I think Steve is just trying to play devil's advocate on something that just won't hold water.

I'm not even thinking about penalizing BR because of a bad throw and a bad catch. It's up to F3 to make the catch and the tag and to avoid the runner.

Thanks
David

Read Tee's and Garth's answer above. It should be good enough for you. It is for me.

When the coach asks about the running lane, say that it doesn't apply to bad throws. Everyone knows that a throw that pulls F3 into the path of the BR is a bad one, regardless of whether F3 can catch it for the out.
